A REPLY
On the Resolutions of the Secular
Society.
To the Editor of the Light:
My attention has been called to the re-
port of the proceedings of the Secular So-
ciety as published in your paper of Mon-
day afternoon. I read there that resolu-
tions were offered in “solemn protest
against the insolent officiousness prac-
ticed by clergymen at the deathbed of
men who when they are physically and
mentally sound treat their teachings and
doctrines with scorn and contem >t." 1
read also that it was the sense of the
meeting that “all liberals must hereafter
be protected from such interference and
insolence in their dying moments.” And
I understand further that according to
the lecturer in holding a Christian burial
service over Mr. J. J. Puckett “a shame-
less outrage ha* been perpetrated upon
the remains” of the deceased.
As I am the minister who attended Mr.
Puckett during his last illness and as I
had the privilige of offieatlng at his fun-
e al it was quite natural that my friends
should suppose that tie above remarks
were leveled at me. You will permit me
therefore a few words to the subject.
In the first place 1 may say that it Is
perhaps unfortunate that my principles
do not permit me to answer the resolu-
tions and remarks in similar language.
But as lam so sure of my cause as not
to feel the need of such terms I will run
the risk of not being understood and will
speak as clearly as possible In the lan-
guage of courtesy ana consideration.
The Secular Society is mistaken. I did
not intrude myself upon Mr. Puck-
ett or upon his friends. I went to sen
him about a week before bls death be-
cause I was asked to go. I went again
because he was glad to see me. and
because he and his friends asked me to
return. I did not know he belonged to
the Secular Society until after his dea h.
I am quite free to say however that had
I known that fact I should have gone just
the same. lam sorry I did not go ofien-
er. I saw him twice for about thirty or
forty minutes each lime and if it is true
as I am told that mv two visits were the
occasion of a great change in feeling and
opinion I am glad.
This is a free country. If while there
isiifethereishope.it is also true that
while there is life there is liberty. In my
opinion if Mr. Puckett wished to change
his faith he had the right to do so.
It seems strange that a Liberal society
should care to have its sick members
“protected” for fear they will not die In
the faiths I i which they have lived. Is
it implied that they need to be so “pro-
tected?” Mr. Puckett was not the first
man to find that the creed of unbelief is
not a very good creed to die in.
But more than this. We are coming to
queer limes Mr. Editor when fora min'S-
tertogo to the bedside of a man to whom
he is called is to make himself subject to
language such as I have quoted above. I
need hardly say that I am undismayed. I
am quite sure that I shall go to
every bedside to which 1 am called.
Should any of Mr. Puckett’s friends care
to discard the most unbelievable of un-
beliefs I atn ready to confer
with them personally at anytime. Should
they feel at the last as they lie face to
face with death in all its naked reality
that pettv quibbling is poor argument
and that human souls were meant for
God and for God’s religion I shall tie
glad to see them. They may be quite
sure that a Christian minister can and
will go where he is wanted and they may
bequite sure that they have a right to
his services if they wish >hem. After
they are dead it willvery likely be charged
that they were mentally unsound but
they will then I trust be too far beyond
the question of petty controversy to care
very much about hard and bitter words
and thin may be equally sure that the
minister is hurt still less.
lam. Sir sincerely yours
Edgar G. Murphy.
San Antonio St. Mark’s Rectory
March. 1891.
Note—l wish to state that Mr. Mur-
phy’s atto .dance upon Mr. J. J. Puckett
during his last illness was in no sense an
intrusion Ido not consider myself a
a member of any Christian body so I had
no “sup. rstitious” (?) end to serve but
with the consent of the sick man himself
I went and personally requested the
presence of a Christian minister. Mr.
Murphy came because he was asked to
come and he buried the deceased because
Mr. Pu ketlhiinself hlssister-in-law (the
only relative In attendance) and the
friends who nursed him expressed a pre-
ference for Christian burial. Signed
